Fourth Prince Xiao Yu suffers from a strange illness. When it acts up, he feels intensely ashamed and his heart becomes extremely humble. Even when his "moonlight" shines on him, he shrinks...
Chapter 466 Jiji Extra (9)
Thanks to the good weather, the weather has been sunny and windy these days, making it suitable for traveling.
Because Xun Pei'er was brought along, the pace was almost twice as slow, but for some reason, Gigi didn't feel slowed down at all.
No matter how tired she was, Xun Pei'er always had a happy smile on her face, picking flowers and chasing birds.
No one can fail to be infected by the smiling faces of those around them.
"Let me carry the bag." Jiji mentioned this to Xun Pei'er for the umpteenth time, but was always rejected by Pei'er.
"No, this is called weight training. I heard about it from my brother." Xun Pei'er said seriously, "I don't have enough physical strength now. I need to exercise well."
Gigi was amused by her: "Have you heard that there is a limit to the amount of training you can do each day? If you exceed it too much, it will have the opposite effect."
Is there such a saying? Gigi just made it up.
"Don't be so stubborn, give it to me." He snatched Xun Pei'er's bag, his hand carelessly stroking her shoulder.
She was clearly wearing clothes, so why did he feel like he was flirting with her?!
Xun Pei'er, on the other hand, didn't feel anything at all and just laughed, "Then I'll trouble you, my husband."
"No, it's okay." Gigi felt guilty for some reason.
According to the carriage's itinerary, we should have arrived at the next village or town tonight. Even if we didn't make it there, we could still spend the night in the carriage.
Unlike now, there is no village or shop nearby, so we can only spend the night in the wild.
Jiji heard that her senior sister and the others often slept outdoors when they were traveling, but they all had their skills to protect themselves, unlike Pei'er who had no resistance at all.
"I'm fine!" Hearing Gigi's worry, Xun Pei'er patted her chest and assured, "Let's find some dry leaves first, put our clothes on them, and then light a fire next to us. That's enough!"
"You also know how to lay leaves?" Gigi laughed.
"I did my homework," Xun Pei'er said proudly. "By the way, we also have to take turns keeping watch at night to prevent any robbers or wild animals from attacking us."
Gigi subconsciously touched her little head, then withdrew her hand embarrassedly.
"It's not that troublesome. Just listen to me." He bent down in front of her. "Get up. I'll carry you."
"No, you'll be so tired." Pei'er refused directly.
"Come on up, your husband has cultivation on him," said Gigi, "I can carry you faster."
Pei'er then agreed to lie down and moved her body to steady herself.
As soon as I sat down, I felt a sense of lightness. Gigi was walking very fast under me, two or three times the speed of the two of them walking just now.
It turns out that my husband can walk so fast alone, no, carrying someone on his back. If he travels alone, wouldn’t he reach the town in half a day?
Xun Pei'er felt that she had fallen behind and felt lonely. She was thinking about how to make up for it, so she pinched her sleeve to wipe the sweat off Jiji's forehead.
I didn't expect that he didn't sweat at all.
"We're almost there." Gigi said suddenly.
Xun Pei'er looked into the distance like Sun Wukong: "Where is it? I don't see any town."
"I saw it." Jiji's eyesight was much better than Xun Pei'er's. "There's no town, but there's a farmhouse. Let's stay there for the night. Farmers who live here usually have people working in the city, so they have vacant rooms."
"Okay, okay, my husband is so awesome." Xun Pei'er smiled.
The heat from her breath blew on the back of Gigi's neck, making Gigi feel like she was being kissed for a moment, and her face suddenly turned red.
Fortunately, it was completely dark at this time and Pearl couldn't see his expression.
But after saying something like "My husband is so awesome", shouldn't it be followed by a kiss?
Gigi cleared her mind of all the random thoughts and quickened her pace.
They came to a lighted house, took out some silver and asked the two old people inside for shelter.
When the old man saw the silver, he eagerly led them into an empty room, which he probably used to entertain passing travelers.
Jiji said to Xun Pei'er, "Rest for a while. I'll go get some clean water."
"Okay." Xun Pei'er was as obedient as a tired cat.
When Jiji went out, he saw the owner of the house still in the yard, so he asked, "Excuse me, old man, is there a well nearby? We need some clean water."
The old man replied, "Our well is dry. Go along this road until you see an old locust tree. Then go north and you will see the well after a distance."
Gigi: “…”
It’s really troublesome to fetch water. It’s hard for these two old people.
He thanked the old man and went in that direction with the bucket.
It was a dark night, and there were trees along the road. Jiji looked around as he walked, but couldn't find any old locust trees.
There was not even a road heading north.
He greatly regretted not asking the exact distance, and didn't know whether he had walked it or not.
As she thought about it, Gigi suddenly felt something was wrong.
The two old men seemed to be acting strangely.
Even though it was already so late, the two of them were still dressed neatly and showed no sign of falling asleep, as if... they were deliberately waiting for them.
Think about that spotless room...
Oh no, the tiger has been lured away from the mountain!
Gigi threw down the bucket and ran back like crazy!
It hasn't been long since he accidentally lost Pei'er. How could he be such a husband!
Gigi ran all the way back, emitting spiritual power to sense the surroundings as he ran, but until he returned to the farmhouse, he did not find any trace of people.
When we returned to their room, the luggage was still there, but the people were gone.
A long wooden sword fell to the ground.
Pearl even rebelled
...He'd been out for too long! He'd been so careless! His cultivation had gone to waste!
Which direction should he look now? He couldn't read footprints.
Gigi was sweating with anxiety, but had no idea what to do.
He suddenly thought of his brother-in-law Xiao Yu.
